CHICAGO (CBS) -- It's still not clear what caused a big house fire in McHenry County.

The fire ripped through this apartment building overnight, leading to a partial roof collapse.

At one point, firefighters had to call for backup from nearby fire departments.

One person was taken to the hospital in good condition and a firefighter was treated for minor injuries. The American Red Cross also showed up to help displaced residents.

Just a few hours earlier and a few miles away, first responders had to rescue four people after the boat they were in went over the McHenry Dam.

It happened around 9:30 Monday night. The victims, whose ages range from 24 to 47, were all taken to the hospital. So far, there's no word on their conditions.
